Been here a few times just for wings and beer on their wing night. They ran out of blue cheese, beers are over priced for the atmosphere and service was terrible. We were at a table but had to keep going up to the bar for refills, extra napkins, and our server never came back to clear our plates until way later. Their wings aren't bad though and it's a fun time depending on who you go with.
Review Source:This past weekend the Brickyard brought in a different DJ an older female. Â Now being a former LA club promoter I was a bit skeptical about this. Â I did not see any advertisement or hear word of mouth about switching DJs. Â But I have to be honest she was pretty good. Â Her set was pretty good, kept the crowd dancing which is always a good thing. Â There were zero problems which makes the Security team's job much easier. Â Now all they need are a few different themes to bring to the Brickyard, but I will say they are definitely moving in the right direction.
Maybe I will come out of retirement and put together an event there ;)
Now a quick note before you delve into this review.
Â
  I hate this place with all my heart.
The only reason I'm giving this five stars is due to the fact that I've seen no less than six different fights here that ended with people being tazed. And I wasn't even a customer at the time. Everything else about this place is the worst ever.
EVER.
But man oh man, watching a guy get tazed, get back up, get tazed again, get back up and finally get tazed and have pepperspray shot in his face. It warmed the cockles of my heart. The fact he was wearing an Ed Hardy shirt at the time was not lost on me.
My advice would be see if someone who lives in the apartments next door will let you watch the parking lot on a summer night from the third or fourth floor is the best time to watch dousche bags beat each other up.
Don't ever go inside the place though.
There be monsters in there.
4 months ago they replaced the entire kitchen staff I'm told. Â Wow! Â What a difference. Â The food is fantastic now. Â Great salads, sandwiches and entrees. Â Drinks are fine for sure and not over priced. Â Look, I'm 44 so I don't go late night when it is a dance club. Â Go before 8pm and its a great restaurant.
Review Source:I can't complain too much since I've been here a handful of times and it has always been a fun time, but that may have been due to the group I was with and nothing else. Some of the reviews are dead on. Drinks are way overpriced, the service is slow, some of the bartenders are dicks and the crowd is always sketchy. Never tried the food but I don't think I would ever consider it anyway.
Review Source:The crowd here is... spotty. I can't really say I've come out on a Fri or Sat and really enjoyed the night. The drinks are decently priced. People tend to file in after midnight and begin their night of dancing.
Again, the crowd is quite lame. Sometimes you'll see people getting kicked out for some craziness and the cops get called, but that's not too often. There are pool tables and darts in the back.
The food selection is lacking as well. I will say the friend calamari is pretty good, but other than that there's much to be desired in food selection. If there's a big game on, the dining room has a large screen to display the game. Overall, it's a hit or miss experience on a Friday or Saturday night.
If you're coming to watch the game and have a bite and a few drinks, it's not a bad choice.
We took a large group out after a show at the convention center  on a <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurants.com&s=8b83bf0ff8b716aae84527dc95577a310f201b166dcca25c8ca3824b15703869" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurants.com</a> coupon.  No hassle with the coupon, and they housed our 10 people in a private room off to the side.  Service was fast and friendly.
Food - adequate. We had the prime rib, and the scallops, both house specialties that night. Â All cooked as ordered with decent tasting sides. Â Shared appetizers, very usual bar appetizers. Â Drinks a little on the weak side, but fine and tasty.
No complaints about this place.
The Brickyard reputedly started with a lot of high intentions. Â Sadly, none of them were achieved. Â It's a cheap sports bar mostly frequented by people who want one thing, to get really drunk for as little money as possible and while that's a goal I'm not entirely unsympathetic to, if doesn't make for a great place to hang out. Â Disturbances frequently punctuate any evening visit to the Brickyard. Â The parking is mostly non-existent.
Avoid the Brickyard at all costs. Â There are many better places to go.
Truly wretched. Drinks aren't overpriced, but I'd rather pay more to have a clean bar and a friendly atmosphere. The bartenders don't seem to notice when they overfill a glass and spill sticky substances or beer all over the bar (and then don't clean it up).
I knew something was wrong when I got frisked (patted down-- and with one of those metal detector things, too!) before I even went inside. My friend and I witnessed a party of extraordinarily drunk people being escorted out by a crowd of bouncers... another bad sign. This was to be the first of a few bouncer incidents we witnessed.
Crappy selection of bottled beers, liquor, and beer on tap. I'd be able to enjoy a cheap or limited assortment of liquor if I could enjoy the atmosphere which, since the Brickyard resembles more closely a frat party than a drinking establishment, seems difficult. Great place to take photos for the acclaimed website, <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhotchickswithdouchebags.com&s=1542866acdc3123c2722cf2becc277dbc009cdd1d55b5a4bee96c3993720501e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://hotchickswithdouc…</a>.
Tons of TVs in both the dining area and the bar. All booths in the dining area have their own small LCD screen.
Most of the food is average, but the bruschetta and the wings are worth going for. Good drink specials most days.
Probably the best place in the city to go watch Sunday football and other big sporting events. Can't recommend it for going out at night though, too crowded and loud.
Update:
To vouch for all the 1 and 2 star reviews about this place, The Brickyard is essentially two different places depending on the time of day. A decent sports bar before 8pm, and then a loud obnoxious dance club at night on the weekends. When it gets transformed into nightclub mode is when you get wanded at the door, and spend the next 20 mins waiting for a drink. If you see people getting frisked at the door at night, just turn around and go somewhere else.
